Wednesday Writing Tips: Head Hopping

Writing tips from EC editors

Head Hopping

If the text indicates a character’s feelings or internal
thoughts, that is the POV character. Avoid changing POV too frequently. It is a
common practice to include a blank line when POV switches, to help the reader.

And I tell you it's the thing critiquers of your work will jump on, and yet 'big' authors seem to get away with it. It really grates with me when I see it being done. Husband is so tired of lying next to me in bed and I yell - she's swapped POV in the same paragraph. He's a saint to put up with me.
